Strange error after upgrading to Xcode 3.2.5 ld: file not found: -miphoneos-version-min=3.2

Question

I have been banging my head on this for a while now. What is the problem? btw. I am using the Three20 Libraries in my project in case that has anything to do with.

Ld build/DFJ.build/Debug-iphoneos/DFJ.build/Objects-normal/armv6/DFJ normal armv6 cd /Users/macuser/Dropbox/DFJ/DFJ setenv IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 3.2 setenv PATH "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch armv6 -isysroot /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.2.sdk -L/Users/macuser/Dropbox/DFJ/DFJ/build/Debug-iphoneos -F/Users/macuser/Dropbox/DFJ/DFJ/build/Debug-iphoneos -F/Users/macuser/Dropbox/DFJ/DFJ/../../../Downloads/gdata-objectivec-client-1.11.0/Source/build/Debug -filelist /Users/macuser/Dropbox/DFJ/DFJ/build/DFJ.build/Debug-iphoneos/DFJ.build/Objects-normal/armv6/DFJ.LinkFileList -dead_strip -all_load -force_load -miphoneos-version-min=3.2 -framework QuartzCore -framework Foundation -framework UIKit -framework CoreGraphics -lsqlite3.0 -framework MobileCoreServices -lxml2 -framework Security -framework SystemConfiguration -framework OpenAL -framework CoreAudio -framework AudioToolbox -o /Users/macuser/Dropbox/DFJ/DFJ/build/DFJ.build/Debug-iphoneos/DFJ.build/Objects-normal/armv6/DFJ

Answer 1

You are getting that error because of this part of the ld command line:

-force_load -miphoneos-version-min=3.2

The -force_load option expects to be followed by a filename, but no filename is present so it's taking the next option (-miphoneos-version-min=3.2) and trying to interpret it as a filename.

Take a look at your build settings in XCode to see where that -force_load flag is being specified...
